Nice one, DOF!

That’s another example of privilege that pisses me off.  I don’t even think that there should be extra penalties for committing crimes near a school.  I can understand the lazy attempt at logic-that the intended customers or victims will more likely be children-but there are already usually bigger penalties for crimes involving children.  Laws like this also mean that the harmless hippie who lives within 1/5 mile of a church, school or housing project can get extra time for something done on his own property.  Overly broad, bad laws for lazy, fear driven sheeple. 
The church part is particularly maddening.  Are people of faith so damned weak that they need extra protection, on everyone’s dime, to keep them from carousing with the crackheads?  Oh yeah, that question has already answered itself.
Semi-related, as far as overreaching laws go-
I live in a small town where this kind of thing gets a bit ugly.  Every time somebody tries to open a new bar, liquor store, medial marijuana dispensary, or sex shop, the religious privilege crowd and the “save the children” loonies hold things up for weeks and months, always asking for the rights of others to be denied, asking for newer, more strict laws, acting like victims when they are the ones causing problems.  There are only two neighborhoods here that aren’t within 1000 feet of a school, church, or halfway house. 
One is a rich residential neighborhood, the other is a desolate industrial area where nobody goes.
Basically, they are asking for unconstitutional control of all the useful retail areas, expecting the city council to reject any business that isn’t
family-friendly and Disney-esque enough to make you puke.  One funny exception-there is a group of popular local christians who are also avid motorcycle fans.  Of course, they got to open their noisy, ugly custom shop right on the main drag of town, within earshot of several apartment
complexes and a trailer park.  Try doing the same with say, a music studio, which won’t even be audible from the street, and you can expect a council meeting or two to see if you are worthy.

I understand laws that increase the penalty for selling in proximity to a school, but what’s up with more penalty for selling close to a church?  Are religious people more vulnerable to reality-altering substances?

Oh, right…
